Maine Mural

Maine artist Judy Taylor was thrust into the national spotlight in March because of an ambitious, 11-panel painting she did for the state of Maine. As labor battles and union controversy bubbled up across the U.S. in March, Maine Gov. Paul LePage quietly removed a mural that Taylor had painted in tribute to Maine's long labor history. Supporters of the mural came out in droves to protest Gov. LePage's heavy hand, while the Gov's supporters applauded the decision to take down the work.

Judy Taylor joins us to talk about the mural, the controversy behind the work, and her other, quieter life as a working artist in Maine.
